And now *that's* done

New primary sump pump and battery back-up installed. Toilet has new cut-off valve--the old one required a grown man using channel locks to turn--and innards. Backyard water tap has been replaced--no more drippydrippydrippy.

I was concerned about existing sump pump after I heard on a radio repair show that the switches have a life expectancy of about three years. I remember when Dad put that pump in, and I swear it was over ten years ago. As it turned out, the unit was close to Fail, as were the toilet innards.

That's why I write books, so I can spend the money on house stuff no one ever sees.

But, happy now.

Next appointment is Friday, when the A/C guy comes to PM the unit.
